For the first time this regular season, the Jaguars used their injured reserve on Tuesday.

Out for the rest of the year are safety Dwight Lowery (concussion) and left tackle Luke Joeckel (broken right ankle).

Tight end Allen Reisner (right knee) was placed on injured reserve but designated to return for the final four games.

Added to the active roster were guard Jacques McClendon, who was waived on Saturday and two offensive tackles — DeMarcus Love from the practice squad and Sam Young via waivers from Buffalo.

Lowery had missed the last two games and Joeckel and Reisner were injured in Sunday’s loss at St. Louis. The Jaguars knew Joeckel was done and Reisner became an IR candidate when his medial collateral ligament damage would require six weeks of recovery.

Lowery’s season ended early for the third time in as many years with the Jaguars — he was concussed when blocked by Seattle receiver Golden Tate on the second play of the teams’ Week 3 game. Tate wasn’t penalized but was later fined $21,000 for making contact with Lowery’s head and neck area.

The Jaguars also signed receiver Jeremy Ebert — who was waived on Monday — to the practice squad and waived rookie receiver Tobais Palmer from the practice squad.

McClendon has been on the roster yo-yo this season. He has been waived each of the last four Saturdays. Love was signed to the practice squad last week.

A former sixth-round pick by Dallas in 2010, Young started four games last year for Buffalo. At Notre Dame, Young started all 50 of his games — 40 at right tackle and 10 at left tackle.

All I have to say is having such a poor offense directly affects the defense of the same team.
Plus gutting the team at the beginning of the season of some of our quality players on defense didn't help any either.
If I hear one more time this is all by design and part of a 3 to 5 year rebuilding plan, I will puke.
